"I have never learned so much about Melanchthon in such a short
time as I have from Wengert's essays here includedI recommend most
heartily, sincerely, and joyfully this volume to students of the
Reformation, students of the history of the Church more broadly,
students of the German Reformation, students of Melanchthon, and
general readers looking for a volume from which they might learn a
great deal about one of the Reformation's 'shadow' figures." -- Jim
West, Quartz Hill School of Theology English summary: These twelve
essays by international scholars investigate Melanchthon's
theological activities as teacher, confessor of the faith, and
defender of his doctrine and ecclesiastical policies as they
developed within the context of his service of society and church.
In the past quarter century Melanchthon researchers have
scrutinized older, mostly negative, interpretations of the
Preceptor Germaniae. The editors present in this volume precisely
focused appraisals of Master Philip in his role as theologian at
the university and in the service of his own prince and others. By
carefully placing his use of Aristotle, his understanding of the
nature of training for pastoral ministry, his biblical exegesis in
context, by analyzing four of his attempts to formulate Wittenberg
teaching in public confession, by assessing how his own writings
took on normative character for the church, and by tracing his
thinking on the free will and the Lord's Supper in the midst of
controversy, these authors offer carefully etched portraits of
Melanchthon as Preceptor ecclesiae. This volume contributes to the
expansion of our understanding of Melanchthon as key figure in the
Wittenberg Reformation and the currents of controversy that have
long surrounded the interpretation of his contributions. German
